Welcome to the Next Generation of Castle Air Controllers,
the Phoenix Ice Series.
Phoenix Ice brings the ability to run at input voltages of up to 8S*
(33.6) and use the built in switching BEC to output up to 5 amps of servo power
all the way up to the 8S max*!
Switching BEC
The Phoenix Ice switching BEC output is factory set to 5.0V. Users may use Castle
Link to select their desired voltage between 5.0V and 7.0V, in 0.1V increments.
Data Logging
Ice brings another incredibly useful feature, extensive data logging capabilities.
The controllers are able to measure and record many parameters at sample rates
that you choose between 10 samples per second and 1 sample per second. Data
points include:
- Battery Voltage
- Battery Ripple
- Battery Current
- Controller Temperature
- Controller Input Throttle
- Controller Motor Power Output
- Motor RPM
This data is stored directly in the controller and may be accessed
once the run is over using the Castle Link USB adapter (sold separately) and
Castle Link software (available free at castlecreations.com). The Max Log Size
is 21,504 bytes, everything takes one byte except for motor rpm which takes
two.
- Logging 'Battery Current' at only a 1 sample / second - 358 minutes
of logging time (almost 6 hrs)
- Logging 'Motor RPM' at only 1 sample / second - 179 minutes of logging
time
- Logging everything at only 1 sample / second - 44 minutes of logging
time
- Logging everything at 10 samples / second - 4 minutes and 28 seconds
Two versions: Heat Sink 8S max input and
Heat Shrink 6S max input
The Ice comes in two versions, standard version which is optimized for demanding
RC heli and sport aircraft applications and a Lite version packaged in heat
shrink for users with tight fuselages.
All Phoenix Ice are ready to fly out of the bag, no programming is
necessary for most aircraft applications. The controllers are set at the factory
for Auto Lipo detect/cutoff operation and they are tuned for optimum outrunner
performance.
Advanced users will find the incredible programmability of the Phoenix
Ice allows for performance characteristics tailored exactly to their desires.
Heli users are raving about the performance of Castle’s programmable
helicopter modes which include options to directly enter desired governed headspeeds
as numerical values! Every heli power combination requires slightly varying
governor gains, Castle makes these easy to tweak and the net result is a rock
solid tail.
We now offer the Quick Connect for
more convenient data log downloading and adjusting controller settings. The
quick connect is a special harness that allows you to keep the speed controller
plugged into the receiver when connecting to the Castle
Link. It has an extra 12" servo lead that can be placed wherever it
is convenient to plug in the link, while your speed controller stays connected
to the receiver. No more digging into your setup to get to the receiver just
to pull off your data or change settings!
Designed in Kansas. Components manufactured
in the USA, Mexico, and China.
Castle Creations, Inc. warrants this product to be free from manufacturing
defects for a period of one year from date of purchase.
*8S rating is for standard Phoenix Ice only.
Phoenix Ice Lite has a maximum voltage of 6s.
*Ratings are determined with a 5mph airflow
on the ESC.

*Ratings are determined with a 5mph airflow on
the ESC.
**The Phoenix Ice Lite 200 controller is only intended to be used in applications
where the controller is placed in a very high airflow. A 20mph airflow over the
controller is required in order to achieve the advertised ratings.Use the standard
Ice 200 or Ice HV 160 wherever possible.
